JavaServer Pages "..being used by another process"

I can't compare against JSP files in an active context. If I try, ExamDiff Pro version 3.0 throws the message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (error 32)" The only workarounds I know of are to copy the JSP files to a scratch folder for comparison, or stop the servlet container (e.g., Tomcat). Is there a better way?

Theoretically, EDPro should be able to compare any file that is open in FILE_SHARE_READ share mode. Unfortunately, there was a bug that prevented comparing files whose handles are open. This bug is fixed in the latest build of 3.3 Beta.

Still, to save a modified file in EDPro the file's handle has to be closed.

Thanks for that. Version 3.3b opens the files fine - even when Tomcat is running.
